Burning up that far before the line, I doubt it was nitrous related.

Where is Vin Diesel when you need him?

Living his life one 1/4 mile at a time.

NOSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!

nitrous doesnt burn though. it supplies lots of oxygen to help the fuel burn better.

While that may be true it can form an explosive mixture with air.

Some people dont know how to use nitrous. Spray it a million times prior to launch, then hit the throttle, goes boom.

Maybe the guy that filled his bottle didn't like him... and filled the bottle with something else. :shock:

i have never seen a nitrous explosion like that.......

exactly, i was thinking of this video, then magically, it was on the related list. apparently charlie's gotten some fame, as this video has 12,000 views.

anyhow, wanna know a big problem with keyless starts? if your car catches on fire, and you run away with the key in your pocket, the firemen can't open the hood to put it out. bye bye brand new vette.

EDIT, this video doesn't show any more. the fire started back up, and the car pretty much burned to the ground.

yeah that is a drawback. thats why you need to keep it in the cup holder and pull the lid closed. well a little late for that. i was in a c6 sunday and thats what the guy did. i second guessed how to get out too haha freakin buttons

heres the other video of what happened a few seconds later

That vette was in Hackettstown near STS tire for a while wasn't it? I had a pic of it on my old phone

coulda been, he's from the area. i think i still wanna talk to him about his wheels. his insurance didn't cover anything, so now he's making payments on a totaled car

Thought so....Wow that sucks.

yikes.

I wonder if the long block is salvageable :)

:shock: that second vid was nasty!!!!

My friend was there...he said the concussion from the explosion was crazy

hmmm.... we'll have to ask :D

I was standing in front of the concession stand it it was nasty to say the least. I've seen a lot of nitrous backfires, but he must have squeezed the whole bottle before hitting the throttle.
